I still have a level of adrenaline for the concert of last night that have to be insane ... Can be define it in many ways (amazing, wonderful, magical, ...) in spanish and as Joey said yesterday, the words are "De Puta Madre!" The day had good vibes from the beginning for me, the concert venue is very close to my house, and when I get to the venue there were a lot of people queuing to get in, ... It was hot there, but the people really wanted to this concert. Quickly they opened the doors, ... I was delighted see Tord, who is the manager in the Merchandising Store Europe at the concerts, we enjoy with the facebook page Europe The Crew, in which they share photos of their travels, he is very polite and friendly, it was great. At seven o'clock "our guys" jumped to the stage ... the first song "Riches to rags", ... fabulous stage, Joey was sexy, dancing and moved a lot, made his positions playing with the microphone and shaking hands with gestures ... I love it! Then "Firebox" spectacular, the lights move with the sudden starts and sounds almost out of this world ...but with "Supertitious" (well known for all) with the madness begins, everyone sings and moves theirs arms, Joey was growing more with each song ("Let the good times rock", "Rock the night", "Scream of anger" ...), his voice sounds fantastic very well, he has had to take care of his voice because to me he sings better than last tour "Last look at eden" ... , People enjoyed, all sing "Carrie", …precious moment. And suddenly "Seven doors hotel" ! Wow ... they made it perfect, it sounded good!, ... one of the most exciting moments was the Norum solo "my hero, my friday night Norum" in "Girl from Lebanon" spectacular, Joey introduced him like "his brother, the man with the golden fingers", ... he appeared on stage with the greatness of talent and his skill with the guitar, and the perfect ending, the icing on the cake ..., our TFC ... Amazing to live it. Def Leppard and Whitesnake were brilliant ... I take my hat off to David Coverdale, ... is a man on stage sexy and knowing very well connected with the crowd. A great night Thank you so much Eva!!!! I am really glad you've had a great time and that you have met ToRd from the crew, he is a very nice guy indeed! Wonderful description of your concert!!! I also noticed that Joey was even more sexy than usual on this tour...maybe he got affected by the latin blood! And yes, John Norum was particularly inspired, as everyone noticed!!!

Yes Michaela dear, this concert was a necessity for me, after Sweden where I couldn't enjoy the concert how I would have liked to, Madrid has been a cure. I have to admit that during Norum solo of "Girl from Lebanon" I ended up crying , sounded really precious! I was very excited, the concert at the best time, Norum playing as always with a great taste and very nice, people delivered ... well I was happy, it was great. There were many people with t-shirts EUROPE, so it was not a Def Leppard concert with two opening act ... were 3 concerts, and all bands connected with people and enjoyed all three bands alike, Europe managed from the start that the audience was theirs and I think Joey felt it in this way, so he was especially captivating, also the rest of the guys, and yes Michael, Norum was dancing in some songs! It was a party. At the end of TFC, Norum changed his site with Leven, ... Norum put on the right of Joey and Leven on the left, ... was a sense of wanting to reach to all public, fantastic. About the 3 singers, for me the best voice rivaled between Joey and Joe Elliot, who fascinated me, but Joey is moving much better on the stage and not think it's a matter of age, is innate, Joey has the best combination of voice, physical and attitude on stage. Joe Elliot sang great, and he was lovely with the people, I was surprised how many times that he appreciated the welcome was having the band there, giving us thanks in spanish, very kind, but there are times in where he is some static and loses some the magic that should have to have people at 100%, not only a singer needs sing well also have to tune engage people and Joey in addition to his magnificent voice, get not to broke in any time so intense connection that he had with the crowd. And then there is David Coverdale , I was pleasantly surprised, he's a killer, I loved, ... his voice is from my point of view the weakest, but enough, his "Is this love" sounded great, but he was so sexy and has an innate ability to take people, his pose on the catwalk hips moving with a jeans very well run and the screams getting from the people just to lift his arms ... that's a natural charm! That can not be learned, it was great ... VIVA David ! Very attractive, not only for their looks but for their attitude, .. large. The press in Spain also notes that Joey is who is in better shape, the Tour is having very welcome, ... very good reviews, was delighted. Here one of them ... www.mariskalrock.com/index.php/2013/06/26/def-leppard-whitesnake-europe-histeria-por-los-80/" ...Surely fitter vocalist of the night is Joey Tempest" "... The Swedes musically they couldn't have a "but". Captained by an extraordinary John Norum, whose classic guitar effluvia emanating even remembered Blackmore himself ..."

This is a small contribution from El Poble Espanyol, still no time to make the edits and put all the bits together, but I'll do over the next couple of weeks. However - as you noted - there are awesome quality videos (almost full concert) from a friend of mine from Rome, who put everything on his Rabbons85 youtube channel (including Whitesnake and Def Leppard). My video is unlisted on youtube for the time being, 'cause I don't want to appear in clear, but you can view and share the link as you want.
